With such a large amount of ammunition at once, more than enough rifles alone to equip a regiment, the officers of the fourth battalion were smiling and excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the Battle of Jianping, the Fourth Battalion has not only suffered huge casualties, but also suffered a lot of losses in weapons and equipment, with only one Maxim left as a heavy machine gun, none as a light machine gun, and a loss of mortars.

After retreating to Chengde, because there was no relationship between the above and no direct superiors, coupled with the chaos of the battle situation, the fourth battalion had not been replenished by a single shot or bullet until now.

Rifles are not a problem, Li Han himself still has some inventory, and a lot of 38 rifles have been captured on the battlefield, and some of the defeated soldiers have their own guns.

But with machine guns and mortars, Li Han had no choice. It's war time, and even if he has money, he can't find an arms dealer to trade.

With this batch of weapons, Li Han was eager to expand his army immediately, but he also knew that now was not the time.

After stabilizing on the Chahar side, there will be no problem in expanding into a regiment with the batch of equipment in hand.

The stronger the troops in hand, the more capital you can have to live in this turbulent world.

Although Li Han's ultimate goal is to fight the little devils, he has to be hard to strike iron.

In this era of the Republic of China, where there are many large and small warlords, there are only two ways to develop with peace of mind, or hug your thighs, as long as there are people above you, you are not afraid that someone will dare to touch you; The other is to raise yourself a little stronger, so that others don't dare to bully you casually.

The first way, Li Han obviously can't go, because even if he hugs the young marshal's thigh, it's useless, the young marshal will retire from the stage of history in three years, not to mention that the young marshal doesn't know who Li Han is.

Just thinking about it, Wang Dazhu replied, there were really a lot of people in the camp who could drive, a total of eighty-three people.

Li Han was overjoyed, time was waiting for no one, Li Han immediately took these people and took four trucks to Tianjin.

Tianjin is a very high ranking metropolis in the Republic of China, the city is full of traffic, the crowd is endless, all kinds of goods are overwhelming, and there are many dignitaries and warlords in the Beiyang period living here.

After they stepped down, many of them went to Tianjin to become apartments, and soon after, Tang Yulin also made the city a member of these apartments.

But none of this has anything to do with Li Han, who doesn't have time to appreciate the prosperity of Tianjin now.

After coming to Tianjin, Li Han sent someone to give gifts to Tang Yulin's adjutant, and Li Han originally wanted to give gifts to Tang Yulin directly. But as soon as he thought that hundreds of carts would be transported by people just for their family property, he immediately dispelled this unrealistic idea, and soon Li Han got the admission ticket to the Chamber of Commerce that presided over the transaction.

Due to the large number of cars sold this time, and considering the problem of reputation, it was handled very low-key, and only notified the big businessmen and big landlords in Tianjin, and ordinary people could not know about this matter.

But even so, it is still in short supply, because military heavy trucks are rare goods, and the prices are super low, and businessmen are like bloodthirsty sharks swarming with the smell of blood.

In just one day, only 30 of the more than 240 military trucks remained, and they were sold in tears with a good move, and the popularity was no worse than that of the shopping malls in later generations.

Fortunately, Li Han came quickly, otherwise, he would really only have to buy a few car tires to go back.

"Damn, they're all profiteers, hundreds of military heavy trucks, and they've been bought up in less than two days."

Li Han scolded indignantly, originally he still wanted to bargain with Tang Yulin's adjutant, after all, he was planning to buy in bulk, at least give him a wholesale price.

Unexpectedly, the adjutant didn't like him at all, and said with disdain: "You don't want it, there are people waiting to buy it later, if it weren't for the fact that everyone is a colleague, with your attitude, not a single tire will be sold to you." ”

called Li Han angry, but for the sake of these thirty trucks, Li Han had to stick it with a hippie smile.

But fortunately, Li Han's heart has a strong ability to bear it, coupled with his constant self-comfort in his heart: if you have a advantage, you are a bastard, what is the meaning of competing with an adjutant, Lao Tzu does not remember villains.

After having 50 military trucks, Li Han was full of confidence, and he walked more energetically than usual, and it happened that Jinlong also brought back news that more than 150 soldiers' families were willing to follow Li Han to Chahar, a total of more than 400 people.

Li Han didn't expect that there would be so many people, you must know that the total attack of the soldiers they recruited in Chengde was only a little more than two hundred, and most of the other soldiers' hometowns had already fallen, even if they were willing, Li Han's side was more than willing and not enough.

If it had been placed a few days ago, if such a large number of people had been evacuated from Rehe together, it was estimated that as soon as they left Chengde, they would have been caught up by devils.

But now it only takes twenty cars to get them all to Chahar in less than a day. Li Han had to sigh that human beings are smart.

Seeing that Chengde's side was in danger, Li Han decided to let some of the personnel and the families of the soldiers go first, and then he and he led 800 soldiers to continue to stay in Chengde to observe the situation, maybe they could also make the little devil suffer a dark loss.

The first convoy of 30 vehicles, 15 of which were responsible for transporting the families of the soldiers, and the other 15 were carrying 4 companies of 600 soldiers, responsible for protecting the families of the soldiers, and at the same time serving as the vanguard of the 4th battalion, looking for a foothold for the large army in the Chahar Guyuan area.

On March 7, 1933, a large Japanese army began to approach Chengde, as the provincial capital of Rehe and the last provincial capital outside the Guanwai, its political significance was greater than its military significance.

In order to show the importance of Chengde, and at the same time to swear that Rehe had been fully occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army, the Japanese army dispatched a brigade of devils to attack Chengde.

The devil made such a big battle, so that Li Han's only remaining little caution completely disappeared, and he wisely chose to retreat.

However, before leaving, Li Han still wanted to leave an unforgettable memory for the devil, because he had always been thinking about the first batch to occupy Chengde, and he was 'famous' in history with 128 cavalry of the Kawahara Brigade.

I don't know where the Japanese army got the news, Tang Yulin just escaped from Chengde, and they knew.

The Kawahara Brigade of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army was responsible for advancing into Chengde, and the Eighth Division had always been arrogant and did not take the Chinese army seriously in the slightest.

In order to win the first credit for the capture of Chengde, a devil from a cavalry squadron directly killed Chengde City without the cooperation of a large army.

Two kilometers away from the city of Chengde, Chuan Qing Shaozuo swaggered on an Oriental horse, preparing to occupy Chengde, followed by one hundred and twenty-seven cavalry.

Chuan Qing Shaoza believed that as long as he succeeded in occupying the capital city of a large province with a squadron of soldiers this time, he would not only be promoted and raised, but also be able to make his name in the annals of the Japanese Empire.

Chuanqing was born in a small peasant family, and if there was no war, he might still be a farmer facing the loess with his back to the sky.

However, since joining the Imperial Army, Chuan Qing has become extremely eager for war under the dual education of radical imperialism and militaristic ideology.

Thinking that he might be famous in the entire Japanese Empire, Chuan Qing Shaozuo couldn't help but feel excited, and even the speed of riding a horse unconsciously accelerated a lot, and he was already a little eager to make a contribution.

However, at this moment, the unexpected happened.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A series of explosions suddenly sounded, and the scarlet dazzling fire flashed, and the Sichuan Qing Shaozuo and the six devil cavalrymen who rushed to the front were suddenly blurred by the explosion and fell in a pool of blood.

The rest of the devils were blinded by the sudden cannonballs, and they stopped their advances, jumped off their horses at the same time, and quickly dispersed, looking around nervously.

"Little devil, I'll send you back to your hometown now."

"Fire!"

As he spoke, with a crisp gunshot, the bullet hit the head of a devil accurately, and then an extra hole appeared in the head of a devil cavalryman, and an unknown liquid flowed out of it.

Before Li Han's gunfire fell, more than 800 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion on both sides of the road opened fire at the same time, and for a time the gunfire was loud, and in the dense rain of bullets, the remaining devils almost had no time to fight back, and their bodies fell.

After only ten minutes of fierce fighting, this battle, which was destined to end at the beginning, ended, and the little devil barely had any time to react, and the road was littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

Occupying an absolute superiority in forces and setting up an ambush in advance, Li Han led the officers and soldiers of the four battalions to completely annihilate the menacing Chuanqing cavalry squadron at a small cost.

After the Sichuan Qing squadron was completely annihilated, Li Han immediately ordered Wang Dazhu to take the cavalry company to clean up the battlefield, and the devil cavalry was all one person and two horses, so this time about 200 horses were captured just for the war horses, and there were also sabers and cavalry spears of the devil cavalry.

With this batch of weapons and war horses, Li Han could completely pull up a cavalry company of the same size on Chahar's side.

After returning to Chengde, Li Han immediately began to organize the troops to retreat, and this time he was able to easily eliminate a cavalry squadron of devils, all because Li Han was calculating and unintentional.

But the Japanese are not stupid, the left side of the face has just been slapped in the face, and it is impossible to put the right side of the face up again for you to pump.

When Li Han's retreat order was issued, the whole city was in an uproar, because the fourth battalion had just wiped out more than a hundred little devils, and the people in the city were preparing to help them celebrate their achievements.

Unexpectedly, the fourth battalion was about to evacuate in a blink of an eye, and many citizens couldn't turn their brains, and they didn't know why Li Han had to give up Chengde even though he had won the battle.

More people watched with tears as the Fourth Battalion withdrew from the city, because the Fourth Battalion was the last Chinese army in the city, and their eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

Feeling that they had been abandoned in the end, many citizens yelled at the marching procession, and those who were even more angry threw rotten eggs and broken stones directly into the procession.

For all this, Li Han and the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion could only endure it silently, because they understood that no matter how they explained it at the moment, they were pale and powerless, after all, they really planned to withdraw from Chengde.

Looking at those helpless and tearful citizens, Li Han was also heartbroken.

As a soldier, he was unable to defend his home and country, but kept losing his city and land, and lost the common people to the murderous Japanese, Li Han felt an unprecedented shame.

It was only at this moment that Li Han realized how happy it was to live in the powerful new China of the later generations, even if it was an ordinary person, he could pursue a happy life without worries.

Unlike this era, not to mention a well-off society, ordinary people just hope that they can live to see the sun tomorrow.

Looking at the helpless eyes of the common people, Li Han wanted to stay and fight with the devils, but he knew that doing so would only make the soldiers sacrifice worthless.

He had only one battalion of troops in his hands, and more than two-thirds of them were composed of broken soldiers and new recruits. Such a force can barely fight an ambush, but if it encounters a large army of devils, it will collapse by itself without their hands.

"Someday, we'll call back."

Li Han said to himself silently in the heart of the strange and familiar city. With infinite regret, the 4th Battalion finally evacuated Chengde.
